BATHING your body in sweat and sun-razing your pores dry—don’t you wish you could just get away for a while, get under a shade or splash through the clear cold waters of the ocean? Summer getaways have never been this good.

The Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA), the implementing arm of the Department of Tourism, has intensified efforts to promote our country’s underrated summer vacation spots.

MEMBERS of the film and theater industries participated in Pinoyspik in English, a reading session of excerpts from Marcelino Agana’s one-act play New Yorker in Tondo last April 5 at Powerbooks, Pasay Road.

FROM Lucap Point, the Hundred Islands of Pangasinan looked like large irregularly shaped rocks. But as our boat moved closer, the islands, getting bigger and greener, seemed to part slowly, as if the breeze blew the islands away from each other. Before we knew it, we were passing between two. We began to wonder which island would be our first stop. I looked around, not noticing that we were already headed towards it.

SEASON 65 of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) is in the books and UST has run off with its 30th general championship. I must say that this latest feat by UST gives me more pride to be a Thomasian. This just goes to show how excellent UST’s sports program is. So kudos to the Thomasian athletes and coaches, Fr. Ermito De Sagon, O.P., Ma’am Felicitas Francisco, Sir Mike Silbor, and the rest of the Institute of Physical Education and Athletics (IPEA) for a job well done.

A RISE in the cost of living means a rise in tuition.

This is the logic of the UST administration as students brace for another 15 per cent increase in their tuition come school year.
